no argument here either. ultimately i agree with you. i only suggest campbell as a visual reference. i would cast hugh laurie, or perhaps someone i didn't know who seemed to fit the role. of course that's all hypothetical. i'd prefer it be animated or not made at all. now you wanna argue over who should be the voice of an animated roland?Originally Posted by Mordred Deschain
Hugh Laurie or Viggo Mortinsen for me..whats his name from 30 Seconds to Mars would be a great Eddie I think. I'm still thinking about who could play Jake though. Susannah I've seen a lot of actresses that I could see playing her, though I can't remember their names.

here's a susannah for you...

As far as Susannah goes I have my own thoughts....
Wanda Sykes. She's a bit older than Susannah is suppose to be, but I think she could pull off a good Detta (right that's the bad side of her?).
Jake would be interesting. It would almost be whatever up and coming child actor is around. Not sure what kid is big right now.
The Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) duh!
Wanda Sykes? I really hope you're joking. She couldn't play a serious part to save her life. She is a comedian not an actor.As far as Susannah goes I have my own thoughts....

Hmmmm interesting choice. I'd have to see her act in another movie before making up my mind.

I was talking to a friend yesterday, and she actually said "You'll never see Hugh Laurie in the same way once you've watched House." So there you go, I may conceed the point

Ya, kinda. I just have a crush on Wanda.

I haven't seen "No Country for Old Men" but this Josh Brolin pic from the movie has me wondering if he could do Roland.
On Bruce Campbell. I love Bruce. I've read his books. I've watched his films - even laboring through crappy SciFi Channel productions like Alien Apocalypse. I've driven to Tallahassee and spent the night in a skeez hotel just to hear him talk. (He rocked, by the way.) Bruce topping the Solstice Shrubbery we put together for my fellow DT junkie.
But Roland he is not - The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. aside (IMO he was the coming thing. RAWR!!!). I do think he would've made a great Eddie circa Army of Darkness days.
(Bolding mine) Yes, but have you seen him act (overact, I should say)?*headdesk*
I quite like the look of that Billy Drago geezer though!
I must say that the more I consider him, the more I agree with Hugh Laurie for Roland - if they starting filming right now. Crap, they missed it, the moment has passed. I kid!
Seriously, though, Hugh Laurie is an incredibly talented and versatile actor. He could become Roland of the books.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.

I'd never even heard of Billy Drago until i saw that picture
i think he looks more like Ziggy of Mars than Roland of Gilead.I'd never even heard of Billy Drago until i saw that picture
No no no! Ziggy was supposed to be hot. You know...
and, of course,Screwed up eyes and screwed down hair-do
Like some cat from Japan
He could lick 'em by smiling
He could leave them to hang
Came on so loaded man
Well hung and snow-white tan
He was the nazz, with God-given ass
Can't see Drago in that outfit. Furthermore, don't want to.

and yet he still looks more like bowie than anything i ever pictured Roland looking like
Now I'm going to have that picture when I listen to any of Bowie's Ziggy-era stuff.

Roland = Viggo Mortensen
Eddie = Ewan McGregor or Ben Foster
Sussannah = Halle Berry (I know everyone says that, but I think she's perfect)
Jake = That kid from Charlie and the chocolate factory is good, though a bit old for the role.
Callahan = Ian McKellen
Okay I have to put out a small rant about Halle Berry.
Not only is she too much of a camera and line whore (See: X-Men movies), but she truly grates my nerves with her holier than thou attitude even moreso than Lisa Bonet.
Black Actresses whom in my opinion have the gravitas for the role of Susannah Dean:
(in no particular order)Whew.... had to get that outta my system. I just hate Halle that much.
- Sharon Warren Ray (Played Ray Charles' mother)
- April Grace various
- Garcelle Beauvais NYPD Blue
- Audra McDonald Private Practice
- Jada Pinkett Smith The Matrix sequels
- Rochelle Aytes Drive
- Anika Noni Rose various
- Gina Torres Firefly / Angel / 24
- Gloria Reuben ER
- Khandi Alexander CSI Miami
Very nice 1911 he's got there, but as Roland? No way. Maybe as one of the Calla Bryn Sturgiss folk.I haven't seen "No Country for Old Men" but this Josh Brolin pic from the movie has me wondering if he could do Roland.
